Welcoming: Tararua Mayor Roly Ellis supports the Fonterra expansion.
planned in Pahiatua
Noise concerns:The Fonterra Pahiatua dairy plant that is proposed for a $200 million to $250m expansion. This
is the view from the property of concerned neighbours Bill and Pauline Wallace.
Obviously, 45 new jobs
in the region means
some will come and
buy houses around
Pahiatua and there'll
be a knock-on effect.

PROPOSED
EXPANSION AT

45 permanent jobs.
The new milk powder dryer
will take 2.5 million litres of

Produce up to 85,000
tonnes of milk powder a year.
Cost $200 million to $250m
to develop the site, with most
costs for the new milk powder
dryer and storage.
expansion,'' Mr Wallace says.
Bill's father and mother were
here, so we knew what we were
coming to, but it has got worse,''
Mrs Wallace says.
They thought more people
would make submissions about
their concerns, but no.
We don't get milk powder
residue here, but other places
do,'' Bill Wallace says.
Boakes says that at the
moment (the off-season for
milk), Fonterra is doing some
work to silence the stack on the
apparent culprit, Drier One.
Boakes says Fonterra makes
the most money for its 10,500
farmer shareholders when milk
is processed as close as possible
to where it is produced.
This will reduce the amount
of milk going on the train from
Oringi, or perhaps there won't
be any.
The milk train fills up at two
points: Oringi near Dannevirke
and also at Longburn near
Palmerston North.''
It will carry on taking milk by
rail to Hawera.
Boakes says the plant proces-
ses milk from only the eastern
side of the Ruahine and Tararua
ranges, and if the expansion
goes ahead, this will continue.
The Water and Environ-
mental Care Association
(WECA) has given qualified sup-
port, but says it wants to see
Fonterra using Rolls Royce''
environmental expertise.
The site will use new
environmental treatments,''
Boakes says. All wastewater
from the new site and the exist-
ing dryers will be treated. It
takes it to another level.''
The proposal is to deal with
all waste onsite, putting treated
wastewater on four farms and
stormwater into the stream.
A three-person hearing com-
mittee looked at 42 submissions.
A decision is due this month.
